<p>It's a Christian reworking of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", where the new lyricist had no idea that "It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth / The minor fall, the major lift" describes the music itself.</p>
<p>Then again, even the U.S. national anthem borrowed its tune from the 18th-century English "Anacreontic Song", which had actually gained other sets of American patriotic lyrics.</p>
<p>And yes, Friendly Atheist is a great blog!</p>

<p>For Darwin Day, how about performing both the Evolution Chorus ("and nothing lasts for ever and ever... change is king, the gene is lord...") and We're Creators?</p>
